I have been a lawyer for 35 years and a crafter all my life. The last 3.5 decades have seen the raising of two great kids, now in their 30s, a great relationship with my husband, and a daily effort to balance my left- brain day job with my right-brain passions and interests. Ironically, having "downsized" three years ago to a townhouse, I now have a large workroom where I can house all of my supplies, books, and two work tables. Looking forward to retirement and full-time creativity.
